The invention consists in'the arrangement shown in. its preferableembodiment inthe accompanying drawings and hereinafter described andclaimed;

In the drawings:

7 vention placed over the top of a, barrel.

Fig, 2 is .a longitudinal section of the same.

=ings by numerals: 1 represents a frame ig- 3is a sectional detail. Y

Referring w to the details of the drawwhich in the present instance'isofrectangug lar form, alt

3, is. adjustable sothat it; may be moved with respect to the pan properin-order to out different thicknesses. To this end, the

pan is provided, with; an underhanging racket- 10 having a set screw 12threaded in its free end,the upper end of the set screwv moving upagainst the bottom offthe frame 7 forming the knife. It will be obviousfrom Fig. 3 that when it is desired to cut the ma-n; terial ofconsiderable thickness, the set screw 12-is adjusted so as to draw downthe material forming the pan proper and project 7 the knife; 6 upward."The rear end of the frame 1 is providedwith an overhanging pivotedY-shaped frame 13, the outer end of which forms a housing for two gearwheels 14 and 16. The gear wheel'l connected -the cabba e iii-orderthatthe: ab

Likewise, whenthe, frame is lowered, thecutting pan will'be cutting pan 2 is tilted sothat it is always .movedback to vits horizontal position; It will thusbe seenithat as the Y -shaped frame a 12 is moved up anddown toaccommodate" different size cabbages or asithe frame 12 is moved down asthe-cabbage is being cut, the

set at the same angle withxrespect to the frame 12 and the screw 19.I'deem this important. I

From the foregoing and accompanying drawings, it will be seen that Ihave constructed a kraut cutter in which the cutting pan and the framefor rotating the cabbage are so connected together that when .said

frame is raised or lowered the pan will be tilted upon its pivot, and asthe frame is 4 lowered in the act of cutting the cutting tool is alwayskept in the same relation with respect to the article being out.

What I claim as my invention isi 1.; In adevice of the characterdescribed,

a suitable support, a cutting pan pivotally mountedupon said support, aframe also,

pivotally mountedupon-said support, said cutting panbeing" provided witha cutter. and said frame havingmeansfor'rotating the article toj be"cut, and a connection be 1 tween said cutting pan and said "framewhereby; when the frame is. raised or low: fered' the cuttingpan willcorrespondingly move on its pivot.

2. In a device of the character described, 1 a suitable support, a'cutting'pan pivotallyjfmounted upon said support, a frame also'pivotally mounted upon said support, said cutting pan beingprovidedwith a cutter V and said frame having means for rotating thearticle tobe cut, means for adjusting said cutter, and a connection between saidcutting pan and said frame whereby when the frame is raised or loweredthe cutting pan will correspondingly move on its pivot.

3. In a device of the character described, a suitable support, a cuttingpan pivotally;

mounted upon said support, a frame also pivotallymounted upon saidsupport, said 7 frame having a crank handle and a screw for asuitable.support, acutting pan pivotally the articleto be out, a crank armprojecting mounted upon said support, a crank arm projecting from one ofthe pivots of said pan, afrmhealso pivotally mounted upon saidsupportand having means .for rotating '2 a p e I a ,33

from one of the pivots of said frame, and a" connection betweenthe crankarm of said pan and the crank arm ofsaid frame, whereby when the frameis raised or lowered the on its pivot.

' '5."In*'a device of the character described,

a suitable supp'ort, acutting pan pivotally mounted upon said support, aframe also pivotally mounted upon said support, a

'crankhandle and a -screw mo11nted on said frame,- gearing between saidcrank handle and-sald screw, andaconnection between cutting pan will becorrespondingly move'd said cutting panand saidframe whereby when theframe is raisedor lowered the cutting pan will'be correspondingly movedon its pivot.
